  • My daughter sent out this message to everyone on her email mailing list and I wanted to share it with you as well. Please feel free to cut and paste this message and send it to anyone you think might be interested in participating in this special project. Click on the link 'needlework' to go the website for information. These gifts mean so much to our family and I know they do to others who share our hurt. pj


    ****************


    I wanted to bring a neat thing to your attention. We have been blessed with a beautiful needlework organized by someone who wants to honor our fallen soldiers.


    I have gone there and am working on a project for another soldier who was killed in Iraq, near the same time as Dustin.

     

    They are looking for volunteers to stitch these projects and hope to get one to every family who has lost a loved one in the war. I can tell you that it is special for someone to remember us this way!

     

    We thought we would share this info with you all and hope that a couple may be able to adopt a soldier's name.

     

    The website is hard to understand at first, but overall you choose a name, and then a pattern and complete the project from start to delivery.  The patterns range from really easy to more complicated but they are all meaningful!

     

    Thanks for remembering our lost soldiers!

  • That is awesome Penny.. I sent it on to some that I thought could do this.  LOVE YA!!!

  • Hi Courtney,

    I have often wondered how you are doing. Say and wife Cindy live here in Plano with our granddaughter, Mia who will be 2 in December. Shellee and hubby Larry, live in Paragould, AR and have our grandson, Elijah (4 years old on August 24th) and granddaughter, Mallory (2 on September 2nd) and one on the way. I happen to have noticed (picture) that your mom and dad are blessed even more. I'm guessing that you are the one at the top of the picture--you girls all look so much alike!! The cross stitch is beautiful and what a great way to remember Dustin. We are proud of him and all of you for your sacrifice. Miss ya!! Momma Betty
